If McCain isn’t the “Lucy” of Republicans, I don’t know who is. No matter how many times he’s stabbed us in the back, now he’s conservative. Yeah, right. How many Charlie Browns (aka schmucks) are going to fall for McLucy this time?
He’s still sharp as a tack after all these years. “Political Lucy’s” . . . heh, very good.
Repeal the Bill. Get the majority, inspect the books, expose the con ... and ... Repeal the Bill.
Another well-written piece by Sowell. That this guy isn’t a leader of the conservative movement or elected to high office speaks volumes of our failure.
Of course this piece isn’t true merely of fiscal policy. We see the same gullibility with the appointment of judges and other political issues. The republicans continuously show that they believe the leftist propaganda and talking points.
And the reason why is no mystery. Republicans get their news and impression of public opinion from a media that is 99% leftist. Small wonder then that they are constantly the fools when they get their worldview from their opposition.
Insightful article. Republicans have fallen for this so many times.
I know rank and file Republicans won’t get fooled again but I don’t have that much faith in the leadership.
Actually, Lucy is the Republicans, and Charlie Brown is the conservatives. And we're well into another round of the exact same cycle.
You know what I am absolutely sick and tired of..!! Everytime those bums in Washington...(or holding office in the states for that matter)....want to raise taxes to take more and more of OUR money...they hold us hostage by whining that the teachers and police and firemen are going to be hurt if the tax isn’t passed....they NEVER say we will have to cut taking care of the Kangaroo Rat or the Dung beetle or some other idiot project...it’s ALWAYS teachers, police, firemen....I am so beyond fed up!! I am sick of this S&M play by the rulers in office. We MUST FIRE ALL those bums up there....and scare the wheebyjeebies out of the rulers in each of the States!! POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!
The democrat party is not the only one that has been bought and paid for by the puppet masters. Even republicans would have a hard time turning down an offer they can't refuse. I don't understand why the pundits are still scratching their heads over this issue. Mystery? Uh, no.
BTW, he's right about the Republicans, but they blew their chance at being the party of fiscal responsibility in 2004-05. Yeah, I'm voting Republican, but last time they were in power they spent money faster than any other entity in the history of the world. Until 2006, when the Rats took over. The Rats doubled down and hit the gas pedal.
bttt
Sean Hannity is going to talk about this column next AND I’m not sure if he said Thomas Sowell is going to be on the show!
